ZEN MAGAZINE AFRICA stars The Very Gorgeous Juliet Ibrahim As Its Cover Star

For decades, September has always been the month when fashion worldwide goes into overdrive. Its the month when students start a new year, it’s the month when you look back at that wish list or revise your new year resolutions to see how well you have done in the year. Zen Magazine has gone one step up this month by starring a well known African face on its digital magazine this month and it is DARN good. It features one of the most outspoken actresses, the gorgeous Ghanaian, Juliet Ibrahim. Check out the editor’s note below and the cover picture. Expect some fantastic editorials this month.

Editorial Note: When it comes to being a celebrity, there is no book you can read about how to become a celebrity. It doesn’t matter whether you were born from a poor family or whether your upbringing was rough, if you truly believe you have what it takes to be famous or to be successful, the only thing stopping you is you.

Every year, a new celebrity is born out of Africa and over the last decade, we have witnessed so many amazing African celebrities breaking new grounds locally and internationally. In the movie industry for example, the likes of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Djimon Hounsou, Idris Elba, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Charlize Theron, Thandie Newton are a few names that come to my head when I think of Africans who are breaking new grounds for not only themselves but for others who want to venture into acting and theatre.

Born on the 3rd of March 1986, Juliet Ibrahim is a Ghanaian actress who lights up my heart every time I read about her. Juliet made her first film debut in 2007 in the movie “Crime of Christ” alongside Ghanaian actor Majid Michel and was awarded the Face of Ghana Movies in 2011. A few years later, Juliette started her foundation “The Juliet Ibrahim foundation – a non-profit, non-partisan organization focused on creating awareness on kidney cancer and providing necessary interventions to ensure a society free of such issues in Ghana and Africa at large.” It is truly a great feeling to have such an inspirational African celebrity on our September cover and this month, Juliette gives Zen an exclusive access into her life, reasons why she started her foundation. We also talk movies, fashion and her beauty secrets.

Meanwhile, we have 2 super cool fashion editorials this month from Anita Quansah London and NOMI by Naomi. Next up we have 2 great inspirational interviews from NNEKA and Bisila Bokoko. All that, plus 2 exclusives with African models Daniel Wessels from South Africa and Asalepele Omphile from Botswana. We’ve also been chatting to Miss Norway 2010 winner Melinda V. Elvenes. It’s another great month filled with so many great features, fantastic fashion, inspirational interviews and most importantly, a month filled with love.

Our team consists of a mix of the GOOD, the NAUGHTY and the most BEAUTIFUL people, just the way YOU want it served. We always have something to say whichever way you look at it. Appreciate us, Love us, Hate us (NOT) we are bound to crack you up whichever way.
